"Joe Hill's Last Will" starring folksinger John McCutcheon

This folk musical tells the story of infamous labor activist/singer-songwriter, Joe Hill, who inspired workers throughout the U.S. and Canada to strike and unionize through the power of his music. A Swedish-American immigrant, Joe Hill was a champion of immigrant and labor rights, and his words lived long after his unjust imprisonment and eventual execution in 1915.

Grammy-nominated folksinger John McCutcheon, along with writer Si Kahn, brings the life of this legendary voice to the stage in a "one-man" show. It will "feature pieces of all of Hill's songs and is based on his letters, newspaper accounts, oral histories, and a good bit of creative imagining."
